Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Our Moscow tours are land only meaning that you arrange your own air travel to Russia and our expert staff meets you at the airport and handles everything else from there.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you.

Chris Cree: A Master of Wine

• Mia Rossi-Marino
• 26 April 2024

As young as he could remember, Chris Cree, who will be featured at this year’s Northampton Community College (NCC) Food and Wine Gala, always loved the culinary world. He watched Julia Child on television, and home cooked family meals were a large part of his family’s dinner time tradition in Hunterdon County, NJ.    

Later in Cree’s childhood, his mother remarried an airline pilot, and the food and wine experiences Cree would hear from his stepfather fascinated him. “I’d hear about these adventures he had, and he’d bring back some of those influences to our dinner table. Pretty soon, wine became as big a passion as food was for me,” Cree said.   

In high school, Cree applied for a job at a wine and liquor shop, Central Liquors in Flemington, NJ, and this was his first exposure to wine sales at 18 years old. After some time at the store, he developed and ran a wine department in 1979, hoping to earn money for college. Life, however, had other plans for him.   

Doors kept opening in the wine business for Cree. “As a buyer for the wine department, they allowed me to work hands-on with the products. I’d go to tasting events and meet the suppliers in the shop, and they were from all over,” he said.    

Cree had the unique opportunity to visit the suppliers after forming relationships with them. He could travel to the suppliers at no cost if he flew on his stepfather's airline. Cree would set up trips for himself to see their property, taste their wines and study their process.   

“That’s one of the things that kept me interested in it. Wine making is a combination of farming, weather conditions, altitude, geology, and the list goes on. Nearby lakes, rivers and oceans, for example, influence the climate of a winery, and these and other things can make each wine process and taste entirely different from a winery in a different region.”   

The beauty of wine country in places he visited throughout Europe, Australia and the United States, along with the passion of winemakers, struck Cree. Some of his favorite places to visit were wineries in France. One, Clos Ste. Magdelein, he recalls, came with a breathtaking view. “It is right on the sparkling Mediterranean. It’s a stunning property, and a wonderful family owns it,” Cree recalls.   

“Small family domains were some of my favorites. I’d taste wines in their kitchen, home or small cellar. I worked at the Domaine Weinbach in France for a few weeks. It was an old 14th century monastery, which is now their home and winery.”   

Eventually, at 24 years old, Cree and a few partners began an import, marketing and wine and distribution business based in Princeton, NJ, where they worked to facilitate sales for wineries in Europe, California and Chile. “I learned a lot about marketing, shipping, and merchandising from that venture,” he said.   

Cree sold his first business and moved on to operating a retail business, Clinton Wine and Spirits. That’s when he looked into pursuing his Master of Wine degree through the Institute of Masters of Wine, which was the highest degree one could get in the business. In 1989, the Institute began offering the exam and courses in New York, so, Cree started the program in 1993.    

“We took a deep dive into the entire wine business. There were exams on grape growing, wine making, the business of wine, temperature control, and more. We also had to do a 3-day long blind tasting and identify specific notes about 12 wines per day – from grape variety and method of production to maturity and quality. My dissertation was on red wine making,” Cree said of the program.   

In 1996, he was among only 13 Americans to graduate from the program.   

Cree soon became an in-demand wine consultant, notably opening The Chelsea Wine Vault in Manhattan, the 56 Degree Wine in Bedminster, NJ, revamping Newark Airport’s Terminal C with a dynamic food and wine program, and becoming managing editor at WineAccess.    

Cree opened the Cree Wine Company in 2020, restoring an 1813 farmhouse that had once functioned as a tavern but later closed in 2012. Today, the restaurant has a wine bar along with a wine school. Cree and his staff offer classes to students at NCC who are interested in getting into the wine trade after graduation. The Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) courses are mandatory for students who are interested in becoming Masters of Wine themselves.   

When Cree learned about the Northampton Community College (NCC) Food and Wine Gala through mutual friends and committee chairs, Mike Molewski and Anthony Onorata, he wanted to be a big part of the event.   

“Education is the key to anything in life, and if I can use my skills to help support something like this, I’m going to do that. I’m very involved in charitable organizations because they are dear to my heart, particularly anything involving youth and helping students and children get further in life.”   

To meet Cree in person and share in his knowledge of the industry, you can purchase tickets to this year’s NCC Food and Wine Gala on May 31, which helps support  NCC student scholarships.

Texas MS 150 Bike Tour Returns To Aggieland

Texas A&M University will once again serve as the finish line for thousands of cyclists riding in the Texas MS 150 when the 40th annual charity bike tour concludes Sunday on Houston Street between Kyle Field and Aggie Park.

The two-day event benefiting people with multiple sclerosis — a condition that damages the body’s nervous system by eroding the protective coating of nerves — will run April 27-28, with a variety of routes beginning in Houston and Austin before converging in La Grange and again in College Station. Texas A&M Transportation Services is advising drivers to anticipate multiple road closures and potential delays beginning early Sunday as the riders make their way through campus.

A section of Lamar Street starting at the bell tower will be closed to drivers throughout the day, while Houston Street will remain closed from George Bush Drive to Joe Routt Boulevard. Riders will make their way down Olsen Boulevard and Old Main Drive before passing the Memorial Student Center and Kyle Field on their way to the finish line. A map of the route through campus, as well as accompanying road closure and parking information, can be found at transport.tamu.edu/ms150 .

Visitors planning to watch the participants finish are invited to park in one of the three nearby garages: Gene Stallings Boulevard Garage and University Center Garage will both charge a flat $10 entry fee, while West Campus Garage charges an hourly visitor rate. Additional parking information is available on Transportation Services’ event parking page .

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Bike MS, which encompasses the Texas MS 150 and a variety of other charity rides across the country, traces its roots to 1980, when the first MS 150 was held in Minnesota. Today, it is the largest fundraising cycling series in the world. Participants in this year’s Texas MS 150 have already raised nearly $7 million to fight multiple sclerosis, with an overall fundraising goal of $9.425 million. More information about the Texas MS 150 and Bike MS is available at events.nationalmssociety.org .

High schoolers get taste of science at college level

• April 23, 2024

Many programs and departments at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa organize tours and site visits for elementary and secondary students to welcome and wow them about what their hometown flagship campus has to offer. The Department of Information and Computer Sciences ( ICS ) has increased its efforts to showcase its STEM opportunities to Hawaiʻi keiki, with a particular focus on those who may not otherwise have access to higher education.

In April, ICS students and faculty welcomed haumāna (students) from Farrington High School’s computer science club to the Mānoa campus. Farrington is a Title I school meaning that the campus provides additional academic support and learning opportunities for their students due to its high percentage of socioeconomically disadvantaged children. Organizers of the visit said many of the students are first generation, and they wanted to show them that college is an option for everyone.

“At most field trips I have had at UH , I have had students who decide to major in computer science,” said Farrington High School club advisor Joshua Dimaya. “Some students, who had chosen not to go into college education, now are excited and motivated to go to school and start to work with our college counselor to apply for schools. Having presentations on TIDES and other support systems at UH Mānoa also helps our students know that there are places to help them financially and emotionally when going to school, easing their decisions to go to UH Mānoa.”

More than 1s and 0s

During the visit, the Farrington students met with Game Dev, an ICS student organization for gaming and game development. They also got a chance to visit Campus Center, Warrior Recreation Center, IT Center and the Office of Student Equity, Excellence and Diversity ( SEED ).

Jaira Pader, a computer science student and Farrington alumna, joined the tour as one of the leaders. Dimaya was Pader’s computer science teacher during her senior year.

“His class, by far, made a huge impact on my decision to major in computer science after learning about the potential careers I could get into and because of his passionate teaching,” Pader said. “Although I couldn’t get the same experience because of post-COVID regulations, I’m happy that he shows his students the opportunities they could have at Mānoa as computer scientists. It was great talking to a former teacher of mine and seeing the fascination these high schoolers have on the field.”

Over the past several months, ICS also welcomed Liholiho Elementary , ʻAiea High, Hanalani Schools and Maryknoll School.

The ICS advising team, led by Kenny Kaʻaiakamanu -Quibilan and Marilou Matsuura, welcomes school teachers and staff with an interest in taking their students on a tour of ICS to contact: [email protected] .

“On behalf of the ICS advising team, we are excited to have hosted several Hawaiʻi K–12 schools on campus!” Kaʻaiakamanu -Quibilan said. “It is our mission to inspire local talent and recruit underrepresented populations into the ICS field. More importantly, we hope these outreach events show students that college is possible and that there are people here to support them in their educational endeavors. We also want to say a mahalo nui loa to our campus student services like Warrior Recreation Center, SEED , TRIO Mānoa, TIDES and iLab for collaborating with us.”

The Department of Information and Computer Sciences is housed in UH Mānoa’s College of Natural Sciences .
